DEAR LAW ENFORCEMENT...
THANK YOU!
It's #NationalPoliceWeek May 10 - 16. We invite you to join us in celebrating law enforcement officials across the country.

Thank you for keeping our communities safe and for being the biggest fans and supporters of Special Olympics!

Thank you for continuing to support us all when we need it the most.
In just over three weeks, we've managed to walk over 15,000 KM with the Coast to Coast Canada Walking Challenge!

Congratulations to all the athletes, coaches, volunteers, friends and supporters who have contributed to completing this fun challenge.

Thank you to those who have continued to share their photos with us of their daily walks! We see how important it is for all of us to stay connected and active. S

Keep sharing your photos with us. Continue to do your daily walks indoors or outdoors while practicing physical distancing!
